UK and Europe Cheap Tickets

European Vacation Rental Homes

I like to believe that there is a type of holiday for everyone. Some people like to take time off to stay at home and get things done around the house. Some people are into adventure travel. Some people like to be out in nature when they travel. Some people prefer to spend their time in a large city. Some people like nothing more than to set sail on a cruise. You get the idea.

While there truly is a vacation suited for everyone, …

SkyEurope Offers Free Tickets to Eastern Europe

I have no idea why SkyEurope is promoting its latest deal as being “Santa’s Naked Fares”. Perhaps the discount airline was just looking for an excuse to post a picture of a butt naked baby on their Web site. Or maybe they were look to attract people doing a Google search on Naked Santa. There are lots of people out there searching for that this time of year. To each, their own. For all I care, they could call this promotion “Catch Herpes and Suffer a Miserable Life” and I …

British Heritage Pass: Your Ticket to Savings

Great Britain has its share of history and if you are traveling there chances are you’ll want to take in Stonehenge, the Roman Baths, Shakespeare’s birthplace and lots of other historic attractions that you have read about in school and that you have seen in those romantic comedies starring Meg Ryan.

If you have never skied in the Canadian Rockies, picture the Alps, except with fewer crowds and more open spaces. The snow in British Columbia doesn’t just fall from the sky, it comes down in massive quantities. If you happen …

Visit Iceland in the Winter. It’s not as Crazy as it Sounds

It is a fairly well known fact that Iceland throws some of the best parties around. The biggest of them all is around the New Year when the country comes out of its winter darkness and sets the sky ablaze with fireworks and light. Here is a good description:

Christmas and New Year are a chance for Icelandic families to spend time together at home. Surrounding the quiet family celebrations are many delightful traditions and customs that visitors too may enjoy. In the 13 days before Christmas, the 13 Christmas …

Europe Discount Airlines

It is hard to imagine life before the Internet and life before sites like Wikipedia. I shudder when I remember those dark, lonely days when you had to go to the library to gather information and when you had to consult a travel agent just to book a flight. I also am horrified to recall those long ago days when there were no discount airlines in Europe and the cost of flying was higher than the cost of a cup of coffee.

Thankfully, those days are long gone and now it is …
